PAPER-ROLLING MACHIN E.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 468,728, dated February9, 1892. Application filed August 10, 1891. Serial No. 402,326. (Nomodel.)

T0 all whom t may concern/.-

Be it known that I, JOSEPH SCHILLING, a

cltizen of the United States, residing at Erie, 1n the county of Erieand State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Paper-Rolling Machines; and I do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,and to the, letters of reference marked thereon, forming part of thisspeciiication. My invention consists in theimprovements 1n paper-rollingmachineshereinafterset forth and explained, and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, in which y Figure l is a perspective View of myimproved paper-rollingmachine. Fig. 2 is a section of the same inelevation.

The object of my invention is to provide a machine through which rollsof wall-paper which have become flattened or crushed out of shape may bepassed and restored to a cylindrical shape.

In the construction `of my paper-rolling machine shown in the drawings,A is the frame of the machine; B, a fiat surface over which thepaper-rolls are rolled; C and C are hinged to the ends of the portion Band are provided with springs D and D the outer ends of which rest uponthe table upon which the machine stands when in operation so as. topermit the hinged portions C and C of the platform to be depressed, asand for the purpose hereinafter set forth. In the bearings d and d onthe ends of the frame A are rollers E and E. Collars c and e areprovided at the centers of these rollers, around which the endless beltF passes The bearings CZ', supporting the roller E', are preferably mademovable by means of set-screws c, passing loosely through lugs a on theend 'of the frame A into the bearings d', which setscrewsfa are providedwith springs b under the heads thereof, which operate upon the bearingsd', supporting the roller E', to keep the belt F at the proper tension.

Around the ends of the roller E are collars 5o ff, of rubber or otherresilient material, and opposite to these collars I secure to the yielding portion C of the platform upwardly-projecting curved springs I-I ll,between which springs and the collarsff on the roller E the roll ofpaper to be rounded is placed.

On theouter end of the bearing h of the roller E, I preferably place aspur-gear I, which intermeshes with a similar spur-gear J, mounted in abearing K on the side of the 6c frame A, and a crank L is secured to thejournal of the spur-gear J for operating the machine, the object of thegearing being for the purpose of facilitating the operation of themachine, it enabling the operator to turn the machine with one hand andfeed the rolls into it with the other.

In operation the rolls of paper are placed in the machine between thesprings Il H and the collars f f on the roller E, as illustrated 7c inFig. 2, the revolving of the roller E carrying the roll down under theroller E and belt F, by means of which it is rolled over the platform B,as illustrated in Fig. 2, until it finally passes out under the rollerE', the 75 yielding portion C of the platform moving downwardsufficiently to permit the roll of paper to pass out under the roller E.

Having thus fully described my invention, so as to enable others toconstruct and oper- 8o ate the same, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent of the United States, :is-n

1. The combination, in apaper-rolling machine, of a fixed platform, asection hinged to each end of said platform,witharoller mounted onbearings at each end of said frame above the hinged portion of theplatform, and an endless belt around said rollers, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth. 9o

2. The combination, in a paper-rolling inachine, of a platform, as B,sections C and C', hinged to the ends thereof, and upwardlyprojectingsprings, as II H, secured to the hinged section C of the platform, witha roller, L, for rotating the roller E, substantially as as E, havingcollars, as f f, thereon, mounted and for the purpose set forth. IO inbearings, as d, above the hinged section C In testimony whereof I affixmy signature in of the platform, a roller, as E', mounted in presence oftwo Witnesses.

movable bearings, as d', above the hinged JOSEPH SCHILLING. section, asC', of the platform, an endless belt, \Vitnesses:
